Indian rocket successfully puts into orbit navigation satellite

Set to Launch High Power S-band Communication Satellite for Armed Forces

IRNSS-1I, the eighth satellite to join the constellation of navigation satellites, will be launched at 4.04am on Thursday from Sriharikota by PSLV-C41 and the countdown will start from Tuesday night.

Alpha Design Technologies, which is headquartered in Bengaluru, played an important role in the integration of IRNSS-1I satellite. This success will bring benefits of our space programme to the common man. "Proud of team @isro!".

The PSLV-C41/IRNSS-1I Mission blasted off at 4.04 am. Sivan also said that industry participation when it came to satellite manufacturing was enhanced, with ISRO "slowly moving towards both the vehicle and the satellite going through the [private] industry".

The ranging payload of IRNSS-1I consists of a C-band transponder, which facilitates accurate determination of range of satellite.

S 1I is a replacement of IRNSS 1H, which was launched past year, on August 31but failed to reach the destination orbit. It is the latest addition to the 'Navigation with Indian Constellation (NAVIC)', a group of satellites orbiting above India that will serve as a domestic version of the American government-owned Global Positioning System.

This launch was Isro's second attempt at sending a replacement satellite. Talking about April 12 launch, it was developed as a backup if ever required and thus, it will launch on the PSLV-C41 rocket so that it can complete the constellation. Keeping up with the general trend, this was the 41st successful mission of the 43 for PSLV.

While IRNSS-1I will replace IRNSS-1A, ISRO has no intention of de-orbiting the latter.

NAVIC is created to be an Indian equivalent of America's Global Positioning System (GPS). The seven satellites are part of the NavIC navigation satellite constellation.

India has conducted three space launches since the mishap previous year, including two PSLV missions, all successfully. ISRO has to meet the need of 70 large communication and earth observation satellites in the next five years.

The biggest is OneWeb, the satellite firm backed by Richard Branson and Softbank that plans to launch over 1,000 satellites. During the conflict, the country extremely felt the absence of satellite-based navigation system and the American system was not available at the time.
